    Study Notes

    DNA Sequencing Methods and Technologies

    • Dideoxynucleotides are incorporated during DNA strand replication in Sanger sequencing, the first generation of DNA sequencing.
    • Pyrosequencing was introduced in the second generation of DNA sequencing, characterized by real-time sequencing.
    • Illumina sequencing technology largely replaced pyrosequencing in second-generation sequencing methods due to its high efficiency.
    • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques provide higher throughput than pyrosequencing; Illumina sequencing is among those advanced NGS methods.
    • Pyrophosphate release during DNA synthesis is detected in pyrosequencing and is central to its sequencing process.
    • Sanger sequencing is the main technology used in the first generation of DNA sequencing, utilizing chain termination.
    • Advanced NGS methods have largely replaced pyrosequencing, offering improved throughput for large-scale sequencing projects.
